<p>I find myself using LLMs mostly to jump start into working and "saving" the energy that I need to start working on a new task. Whether the LLM produces something good or not, I am now in the middle of work.<p>It works best if I'm not already exhausted because a that point LLMs output just confuse me with a lot of text and code.</p>

<p>IVF in Italy is included in universal health care already, regardless of age.<p>If the government is going to pay for IVF for 40 years old women it would be cheaper if those women had eggs frozen at 20 because overall you would succeed with fewer embryo transfers.<p>Of course that's not the only policy needed, we need affordable house for families, schools, decent parental leave for both parents.</p>

<p>Having done IVF with my wife I think this is the most underrated fertility advice available today.<p>I don't understand why governments of countries with increasing average age and low birth rate don't pay for this for all women. This is one the best pro-family policies that can be implemented.</p>

<p>The problem is not WeBuilt, issues usually arise with subcontracting.<p>Calabria is home of Ndrangheta <a href="https://www.interpol.int/en/Crimes/Organized-crime/Projects/INTERPOL-cooperation-against-Ndrangheta-I-CAN-Phase-2" rel="nofollow">https://www.interpol.int/en/Crimes/Organized-crime/Projects/...</a><p>Ndrangheta is a huge criminal organization with ties to politics and a lot of economic power and it is based in Calabria.<p>The current government actively proposed special antimafia rules for checking contractors and subcontractors for the bridge which, IMHO, reinforce the idea that it is a gift to mafia. Luckily the proposal was rejected by the president <a href="https://en.ilsole24ore.com/art/strait-bridge-no-derogation-anti-mafia-rules-vigour-salvini-will-ask-for-maximum-rigour-AHAuTUt" rel="nofollow">https://en.ilsole24ore.com/art/strait-bridge-no-derogation-a...</a><p>We already had issues with ndrangheta and infrastructures for example <a href="https://transparency.eu/the-eternally-unfinished-highway/" rel="nofollow">https://transparency.eu/the-eternally-unfinished-highway/</a> or <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gioia_Tauro" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gioia_Tauro</a><p>All of this only on one side of the bridge, on the other you have Sicily.<p>I think that there are reasonable doubts about mafia interference with the construction of the bridge.</p>
